MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 6.6 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Use aileron to level the wings and hold the upwind wing low only enough to track the centreline before touchdown.
What happened: At touchdown the wings were not level, with an average bank angle of 3.3°.
Watch for: Watch the bank angle indicator and keep wings level through touchdown.
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,024 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 427 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Entebbe International Airport, the Boeing 737-800 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. As it reached the runway threshold, the aircraft initiated its departure roll on runway 17, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 144 knots. The takeoff distance of 1,820 meters, which accounted for 50% of the runway length, was achieved in a relatively short period.
As the aircraft climbed away from Entebbe, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 37,553 feet above sea level in 40 minutes, covering a distance of 312 nautical miles. The climb was characterized by a steady increase in altitude, with the aircraft eventually reaching its cruising altitude. The enroute level cruise phase that followed lasted for 120 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 979 nautical miles. The descent phase that preceded the final approach to Libreville Leon M'ba International Airport was initiated 24 miles south east of Mitzic, with the aircraft descending from 38,000 feet to 2,351 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 159 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 16 at Libreville Leon M'ba International Airport was initiated from the north west, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 154.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,325 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with a threshold speed slightly above the target at 137 knots, and a touchdown distance of 419 meters, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown speed of 126 knots was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -178 feet per minute was good. The aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in less than 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance of 1,467 nautical miles was achieved in 189 minutes, with the aircraft consuming 8,672 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 16 at FOOL Libreville Leon M'ba International Airport with a good threshold height, allowing the crew to maintain a stable approach. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 137 kt, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal approach speed. The aircraft's touchdown distance of 419 m was within acceptable limits, demonstrating a well-executed flare.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed of 126 kt was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -178 fpm was good, indicating a controlled descent. Unfortunately, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.7 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 26 °C and a light wind of 4 kt at 240 °, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.
The total landing distance of 928 m, which accounted for 30% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the crew's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the critical phase of the landing. Overall, the landing was scored 98.3%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and adherence to standard operating procedures.
